Celtics vs. Hawks Film Preview
Wednesday’s Celtics-Hawks game feels like a fresh coat of paint on an old car. Boston is competing for the top of the East, while the Hawks take their appointed place in the play-in tournament. An offseason full of attrition for the Celtics (that directly helped the Hawks) seemingly changed nothing. Funny sport we have here. […]
Three questions ahead of Celtics-Hawks
More time for Amari? Over the last three games, Amari Williams played five minutes against the Brooklyn Nets, then followed that with 10 minutes against the Chicago Bulls during a back-to-back. In his limited time, Williams impressed with his defensive ability while also looking competent on the offensive end. That earned him an expanded role, […]
Celtics injury report reveals team will be without 1 starter vs Hawks
BOSTON — Neemias Queta is finally taking a night off to deal with a non-COVID illness that’s been bothering him since Friday. Queta has been on the injury report since the Celtics’ game against the Brooklyn Nets, but he’s nonetheless played in all three of the team’s most recent contests. The Celtics center has averaged […]

BOSTON — On Saturday, protests broke out in Minneapolis after federal immigration officers killed an ICU nurse, the latest killing perpetrated by an ICE agent in recent weeks. Alex Pretti, who was 37 years old, was killed during an immigration operation that has become more commonplace in Minneapolis and other cities surveilled by the Immigration […]
How Amari Williams is emerging as a key piece in Celtics’ frontcourt
Brad Stevens may have done it again. In the ongoing search for a big man rotation capable of anchoring Boston’s next championship run, Amari Williams has flashed the traits of a player who could fit that role. The sample size is small, but Williams has already been a catalyst in several high-leverage moments this season. […]
Same jersey, different job: Baylor Scheierman
In this series, we’re looking at the biggest statistical differences between last season and the current one to understand how Celtics players have evolved while wearing the same jersey. Not every role change comes with more freedom or visibility. Sometimes, it comes with sharper boundaries. Baylor Scheierman’s season illustrates that balance. Coming into the year, […]
Anfernee Simons is buying in defensively
After the victory against the Portland Trail Blazers, head coach Joe Mazzulla was asked to assess what he saw from Anfernee Simons on the defensive end. “Just his continued growth,” Mazzulla said firmly. It was a simple answer, but one layered with meaning. As the season has unfolded, Simons’ development has become harder to ignore. Mazzulla […]
Same jersey, different job: Jordan Walsh
In this series, we’re looking at the biggest statistical differences between last season and the current one to understand how Celtics players have evolved while wearing the same jersey. Not every role change is about being different. Sometimes, it’s about having the opportunity to be yourself. Jordan Walsh’s season is a clear example. Coming into […]
Joe Mazzulla’s revolving door
There were many doors for Boston to walk through this season. Some led to a high lottery pick, where player development became the priority — while others offered a chance to stay competitive. Joe Mazzulla and the Celtics found something at the intersection of both, where uncertainty is a weapon and development is the byproduct […]
A moment of appreciation for the best version of Sam Hauser we’ve seen yet
Early in the season, Sam Hauser didn’t look like himself. Shots he usually makes in his sleep weren’t falling, and his percentages were by far the worst they’ve ever been in his career. In November, he shot 31 percent from the field and 27.5 percent from 3-point range. It was a true nightmare for a […]

Hugo has doubled up the rest of the field. (Congratulations to Harper’s brother and Celtics two-way guard Ron Harper Jr. for making the G-League team […]
Celtics, Hawks could both be without key players on Wednesday
BOSTON — The Celtics (29-17) and Atlanta Hawks (23-25) are set to face off for the second time this month on Wednesday — and both teams could be without several rotation players. For the Celtics, Neemias Queta is doubtful to play with illness, while Luka Garza is questionable. Jayson Tatum, of course, remains sidelined as […]

“I’d rather have those conversations”: Joe Mazzulla addresses deadly Minnesota shootings
BOSTON — During what’s become an increasingly dark time in Minnesota, players, coaches, and public figures alike have begun speaking out against the deadly violence carried out by federal immigration agents. On Monday night, Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla joined in on the conversation. Before hosting the Trail Blazers at TD Garden to open a four‑game […]
Against a tough defense, Jaylen Brown’s controlled performance yielded winning results
There was nothing flashy about Jaylen Brown’s performance on Monday night. An efficient 20 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists with only one turnover to his name and four steals to Portland’s, it wasn’t another 30-point scoring masterclass, but it was patient, winning basketball, and it was done against a defensive coverage hellbent on forcing […]

10 takeaways from a messy but controlled win over Portland
#1 – Turnovers battle Going into the game, there was one certainty: this game would be about turnovers and taking care of the ball.

When the opportunity finally arrived against the Trail Blazers, the 23-year-old made the most of it. Williams logged a career-high 25:53 minutes in Boston’s 102-94 win […]
Payton Pritchard explains he’s been playing through injury
BOSTON — Late in the fourth quarter of the Celtics 102-94 win over the Portland Trail Blazers, Payton Pritchard crouched down in pain on the TD Garden parquet and clutched his left hand.
